At this point, it seems absolutely certain that Democrats will not budge on their insistence of raising taxes on the rich.  They are, of course, following Obama’s lead on this; and at this point Obama’s obsession with raising taxes on the rich people he so hates has neared the psychosis stage.

The ObamaMedia won’t do it, so let me tell where this obsession for taking more from the high-achievers comes from.  The 2000 election.  Democrats cannot get over Bush beating their guy OwlGore in that election.   It sticks in their throats and chokes the very life out of them.  They did everything they could.  They tried recounting votes in heavily Democrat voting districts while ignoring Republican areas.  The Supreme Court told them that if they were going to recount votes, they were going to recount ALL of them.  They then called off the recount and claimed that the Court “selected” Bush to be the president.  They sent hundreds of lawyers into Florida with direct instructions to make sure they disallowed every military vote they could.  Their blinding and irrational hatred of George W. Bush festered for years .. through eight years … until their “Lord and Savior” Barack Obama was elected.  Then it was revenge time.  Those damned rich people who got that tax cut under Bush were going to be punished.  Gore was going to be avenged!  And there you have the basis of this obsession with raising taxes on the rich.  It goes back to that 2000 election and Florida. 

Considering this, I think that it may be time for Republicans to collectively put on their nose-clamps and prepare for the plunge.  Go over the cliff.  Don’t give into these clowns, because you give in now and then you won’t have any credibility over the next four years as they continue (and they will) to insist that they need even MORE taxes from the rich to pay for their proggie policies and constituents.

Giving in on tax increases would essentially render you impotent.  Perhaps that is exactly what needs to happen in order for people to demand a true reshaping of the party.

Taking the plunge now will be into a vat of ice water … it is going to suck, but you can recover with the right treatment.  Taking the plunge later will be into a vat of acid … America will be rendered unrecognizable to those of us who love freedom and liberty and the great opportunity this country affords us.
